1. The videos are hosted by Apple Inc. openly and without any sort of encryption or other form of protection, therefore this use is assumed to be legitimate.
2. Though the videos are relatively small (below 200MB), it's still recommended that you have an appropriate internet plan so that you do not incur in extra costs.
3. *Please note*: Aerial Dream streams videos constantly and will consume large amounts of bandwidth.
4. A screensaver for Android devices inspired on Apple TV's video screensaver.
5. Currently the displayed videos are the exact same used by Apple TV.
6. In short: if you work for Apple please contact me before releasing the Kraken.
7. Do not install on devices with limited network connectivity.
8. Most home or WiFi connections should be ok, while mobile data could be a problem.
9. If you have reason to believe otherwise please let me know.
1. If and when it does work in the future, it really needs an option to store the videos locally rather than have it chew through through bandwidth.Why does the video stop always!?? It plays for 4 seconds and stops for 12-15 seconds! This is definitely not an issue of internet connection.
2. But after using it for two weeks i found out that i used more that 50Go of data over the wifi, it would have been ok if the app download the videos once but it download them everytime.... slowing down the network and using a lot of data.Version 1.3 works on the Nvidia shield.
3. However, the videos FREEZE ALL THE TIME! Every few seconds it stops and freezes, then will continue and then freeze again! If this can be fixed I'd be very happy with the app.If you haven't experienced Aerial on Mac you may not be too disappointed in this but in comparison, it isn't anywhere as good.
4. The ShieldTV places it in the screensaver setting as you'd expect.i was going to give it 5 stars as it does a great job on showing aerial backgrounds.
5. Secondly, for some reason it can't play 4K videos, it just stutters but if I take the 4K HDR files from my computer and use a photo screensaver, it works fine.
6. Using Sony Bravia 65” X80JI still really enjoy Chromecast's slide shows, but these beautiful, hi-res slow panning videos make for a great change.
7. 1) It allows me to set my screensaver start time on a Chromecast with Google TV even if I decide to keep using the default original Ambient Mode screensaver.
8. Really would love to have the option to cache as it seems to be a waste of bandwidth everytime it loads.Used to work on my Nvidia shield.
9. Bravo!!App works great but within the last month, the screen flickers with green bars across it if the location is displayed.
10. Edit: it also flickers when a dialog box pops up on screen if I turn up volume - flickers even with no location shown on aerial dream.
11. When installing on the GoogleTV dongle you can't use the settings > device prefs > ambient mode to activate AD, but have to load the app itself to make it the active screensaver.
